The Little Drummer Girl 2018
Park’s latest work is a miniseries adaptation of the titular John Le Carré novel. A year before her breakout, Florence Pugh starred as the girl in question, an actress who becomes a double agent for late 70s Israel & Palestine. She’s amazing here.
What I like most about this is its sympathetic view on both sides of the conflict—neither have fully good/evil characters. (But Zionists are the worst periodt)
Eh knee waist we get a really hot, mysterious, brooding Alexander Skarsgård…

The Handmaiden 2016
PEAK PARK CHAN-WOOK PERIODT. I won’t even say a lot about it besides the fact that this masterpiece is essential viewing for anyone who gives even one (1) ounce of shit for the art of film, or just art in general. This. Is. CINEMA.
Okay I’ll say some haha. This truly is a pleasure for the senses. Park indulges with every line, color, shot, sound & transition. You can taste & hear every crunch whenever a character eats... or puts something in…

I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK 2006
I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH 😭 This romantic comedy where a young woman truly believes she’s a cyborg and gets committed to a mental institution portrays some of the most likable, colorful, and interesting characters I’ve seen recently. A favorite.
This movie is what Girl, Interrupted (1999) would be if it had the tone and setting of The Good Place—a sterile yet whimsical world that ultimately makes us get a better insight into mental illness and the real struggles…

Arrival 2016
It’s been a few years since I last watched this visually grand epic of a film, yet it still feels as fresh, mysterious, and thrilling as the first time. The scope of what transpires in the film ranges from the cosmically existential to the deeply personal, all shouldered by Amy Adams’ central, magnetic performance, and makes you ultimately arrive to the question of what it actually means to be human.
